1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Running Boinc GPU client w/ CPDN (Message 37592) Posted 31 Jul 2009 by SlumLord Post: I have looked over the GPGPU threads and it seems that at least one person is running both a CPU Boinc program, as well as the GPGPU client. But when I downloaded it, the Boinc version of my CPDN software changed to the version used by the GPU client. Is anyone fimiliar with running the GPGPU Boinc and CPDN? There are not 2 different clients for GPU and CPU processing. One client does both types of processing. Presently, I am running four computers on various Boinc projects (CPDN and the Clean Energy Project at WCG), but I would love to use the extra GPU power to do some useful work. The only projects that currently utilize CUDA enabled work units are GPU Grid and Seti@Home If I am going to run these computers 24/7, I might as well give it all the work it can handle. Does anyone know if they will conflict? How will the other version of Boinc effect the running of my other Boinc projects? Although I can choose to have no screen saver, does anyone know if the two different screen savers will conflict (as it did when I tried to add Folding@home to my GPUs)? The GPU work units do nothing to change the operation of the CPU work units. The screen saver still functions on the CPU work unit. On my single core CPU and CUDA enabled graphics card 2 work units run, one CUDA and the other CPU based.
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc_gui.exe fails to start (Message 3632) Posted 9 Sep 2004 by SlumLord Post: I was looking on the SETI@HOME site and found <a HREF="http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=272">this</a>. It has to do with Proxy settings I guess. Although the fix suggested didn't work for me.
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc_gui.exe fails to start (Message 3587) Posted 9 Sep 2004 by SlumLord Post: I am also getting this problem on version 4.05. The Strange thing is that BOINC worked flawlessly up until yesterday. I actually had 11 days of processing on 1 CPDN work unit and 9 days on another and had been doing Seti also. The only thing I did different was play Halo (with BOINC running) which I hadn't done since BOINC was installed. Right after I stopped playing, BOINC would open then close immediately after opening. There are no error messages given when it closes. I tried rebooting three times and that didn't work. I also tried reinstalling ver 4.05 but am still getting the same behavior. I'm not sure what to try next. I can't detach from the projects because BOINC closes too fast for me to get into the menus. WinXP PRO SP1, Pentium 4 2.8c HT, ASUS P4P800, 1GB ram, 160GB hard drive.
